Interactive Sessions

The goal is to have 2-3 Zoom sessions each week (~ of 1 hour duration )

The interactive sessions will be one of three tracks, each week:

  1. Sports Track (Questions, Obtaining data, metrics, win probability)

    • We will cover a range of topics related to sports data analysis, techniques to ask good and quantifiable questions, ways to obtain data, thought experiements relating to sports, games, wins, players and venues.
  2. Tech Track (Coding/Python/Setup/Data)

    • The tech tracks covers the tools we all use (Colab/Jupyter/GitHub/HTML/XPath) and the programming cocepts underlying data analysis and algorithms.
  3. Math and Stat Track (Descriptive, bi-variate, Correlations, Predictive analysis)

    • We need to understand a little bit of theory to be able to carry out our own analysis. We will be looking at examples to understand the underlying mathematical and statistical ideas.
